Zuc dal Bor

From Moggio Udinese cross the Fella towards Pradis and turn into Val Alba; a steep, narrow paved lane ends at a small car park at about 1,040–1,050 m by a no-entry sign. Path 450 drops through beech forest to cross the Rio Alba (about 925 m), then path 428, an old military mule track, climbs steeply past the junction for Rifugio Vualt (about 1,200 m), through dwarf pine and across a ledge to the shelf of the former Casera Chiavals and Bivacco Bianchi (1,712 m), about 1¾–2 hours. Water is found a little below the bivouac by the path. Go a few metres down to the signed junction, follow path 425 south-east for about 150 m, then turn left at a 'Zuc' sign onto a steep, red-yellow marked trace: grass, a short gully with grade I rock steps, and more grass to the ridge between Monte Chiavals and the Zuc dal Bor (about 30 minutes). Follow the ridge south for 45 minutes to an hour, sometimes on the very exposed crest, sometimes on steep grassy ledges where a slip would be serious and morning frost makes things slippery, including a down-climb into a narrow notch (II). At a wooden 'Zuc' sign below the summit tower, climb a steep scree gully (a fixed rope helps with the step at the top) to the foot of the tower. The original protected line on the south-east side of the summit was destroyed by rockfall, and the ascent now takes the south-west side: a 30 m pitch of leaning slabs and a short dihedral at III/III+ with bolts, followed by a broken chimney (II) and scree to the summit cross and Madonna. Abseil from the bolted belay (one 60 m rope in one go, or two 30 m abseils to avoid the loose scree). Return by the ascent route (about 2½ hours), or traverse south under the summit and descend a very steep path to path 425 and Forcella Fondaris for a longer loop (10–12 hours, about 1,650 m in all).
